Advantages and disadvantages of living where you live

I would like to start with the advantages and disadvantages of the big city life. Living in such a big city has a lot of advantages. There is a big offer how to spend free time. There are a lot of theatres, concerts and other ways of entertainment. There is always a lot to do and visit! There are a lot of possibilities of shopping. In various shopping centers and galleries you can buy whatever you want. What is more, there are a lot of working places in a city. Many big international companies have their locations in the cities, so it is much easier to find a job in a big city. Moreover, the public transport is developed quite well, so the commuting to work isn't a problem. On the other hand, there are some disadvantages of living in a big city. Cities are very crowded. Everywhere there are crowds: on the pavements and in the buses. What is more, the traffic is heavy and city's car parks are always very full. Sometimes it is very difficult to get from a given place to another. It may take hours! Moreover, the other disadvantage is the safety in a city, but actually the lack of safety. There is a big crime rates in cities. So you have to be very careful at nights when you leave your home.

I think that in the country the problem of crime isn't so big. There aren't so many people and they usually know each other well. The possibility of robbery or other crime is relatively lower. Life in the countryside is more peaceful and the life is also slower. What is more, it is less stressful. There isn't any time pressure and the traffic conditions are better. A lot of places you may reach on foot.

The city offers a lot: there are huge buildings, skyscrapers or some historic monuments. On the other hand, in the countryside there are a lot of breathtaking sceneries, space and other amazing places such as forests, lakes or mountains. Moreover, people in the countryside are quite different than people living in the city: they are relaxed, friendly and family-oriented. People in the city are like ants. They are always in hurry, busy and out of time. In the country people enjoy lives and take pleasure in their daily activities. As a disadvantage of living in the countryside we may consider the commuting problems. People who stay in the countryside often have to work in the nearest cities, so it may take a lot of time to get to it. However, the living costs in the country are much lower; the variety of products in shops is smaller.

To sum up I would like to say that both countryside and city have some advantages and disadvantages. Both city and country may be a good place to live. However I will stay in the city till I retire. Then I would like to move to the country to have a rest. I think that everyone of us will take into consideration all aspects before he decides to move to the country.

I have one unlucky friend; he lived at USA for seven month. A travel company gave him adopted parents, after seven month living in USA he decided to visit his friend in Minnesota. So he turns off his mobile phone and took one ticket to that place, on the third day living with his friend he decided to use the internet, unknown girl wrote him an e-mail: «Hello! How do you do?”, - and he wanted to joke with her: he wrote her: «I don’t know what can I do, my friend make a suicide in garage”, - that was a beginning of his unlucky story, because she believed him: she answered: “Are you crazy? Call the police!”, - but he wrote: ” No, life is so boring. I will join to my friend and kill myself. Good bye!” Unfortunately, the girl was very responsible, so she called the police and said that two boys make suicide in Minnesota. Police founded my friend’s adopted parents and informed them that their student died. Only after two days of search they found him alive and he said that it was just a joke.

But he was very unlucky, so police put him to the special colony for emigrants. He lived there five days. In my friend’s room were only three subjects: ball, bed and radiator. When he decided to play with the radiator, he accidentally broke it. Police found a broken radiator and said, that it is a weapon and my friend wanted to kill somebody. When they made interrogation, he asked: “What kind of crime will I do, if I’ll say in a plain, that I have a bomb? ” In police decided, that he is crazy, and call his mother in Ukraine. They asked her to take her son-terrorist back.

Now he’s living in Ukraine, but he has ban for coming to USA. And it’s all after one little joke! He’s really unlucky!

In what way has travel bordered your mind?

Nowadays, much people travel in another country
because traveling is easier than earlier.
I think travel is one of the greatest ways to broaden the mind.

When you travel in another country you get more knowledge about other places and learn the history.
It teaches you about other people their cultures and ways to life. In other countries the people have
another religion, for example the Hinduism in India. This religion certain the way to walking and their lifestyle.
In foreign countries you can taste another dishes, for example the Paelia,a typical dish of spain.
One can more learn about the vegitation an the different animals. In the jungle in brasilan, you can see much instering animal for example monkeys and reptilians. You can learn about the different workplaces and the different languages.

It is important, that you search the contact with the native people and don’t go to “all-inclusive-clubs”, because the most guests come from the self country as you and you will never teach about the culture in this country.

You can see traveling broaden the mind in all areas of life: The culture, the lifestyle, and the geographical knowledge.When I finished my exam, I will use each chance to travel in another country.

Tell about the reason of aspiration for hosting…

For nearly a century held the Olympic games, and almost all the time, each country wants to hold these games at home. Why is the leader of every country there is a desire to see the host the Olympic Games ... I'll try to explain
Of course, it is advantageous to take the Olympic games at home, firstly, for economic reasons: Thousands of foreign tourists will be in our many cities, respectively, they will be visiting our hotels, shops, restaurants and other places for recreation, which will bring us money. And, of course, they will buy tickets to the game, which also will bring us a profit. Also, thanks to games, we can develop the tourism industry.

Second, the political aspect: the representatives of developed countries will be able to see and appreciate the quality of life in our country with their own eyes that can raise the respect for our country and bring it to a new political level.

And, of course, our athletes will compete in a much nicer home country. The atmosphere and the native people will continue to inspire our athletes to win.
